BLUEBELL BARN

Who: Bluebell
Where: Bluebell Barn
When: Day 1, Post Awakening

[Making your way to your new barn, you'll find your personal meadow is peppered with blue flowers, the occasional blue brainless sheep, a small pond full of clear, fresh water, and curiously a big, blooming blueberry tree. Blueberries don't grown on trees! Don't worry about it.

When you enter your barn, you'll find it's. . .quaint.

The first thing you see is your team's name painted in blue on a wall, surrounded by a wreath of flowers. Above it is a wooden plaque with an inspirational message in the style of those Live, Laugh, Love fixtures, just. A bit hard to read.

Your eyes will be drawn to a tall crystalized bluebell sculpture below the plaque. You may feel the urge to touch it, and if not, some nearby framed instructions on the wall may give you a nudge. "Touch to regain your lost abilities!"

Unfortunately, while you may innately know how to activate them, what exactly do they do? You'll have to figure that out.

As for the rest of the barn itself, it's two stories and fairly basic. There is hay everywhere, and six extremely basic cots, three upstairs, three downstairs. If you examine them and remove the hay, each member of the team will find three outfits (+pajamas) for their use.

There is also a sign pointing the way to an attached portapotty--thankfully, it somehow opens up to a basic bathroom. There's one toilet, one very small bath, rickety shower, and sink. In the cabinet is enough soap, paper, and dental hygiene products for all.


Rustic is putting it lightly, but it seems that this is your home away from home!]

Oh, a thread mage? That is to say, you specialize in textiles? Fufu, I don't know that I would apply a particular title to myself.

Ah, but the thing that I was noting was that you don't seem to be concerned about blot, to use your magic so freely right away. Have you a magestone with you?

Blot? I don't know what that is.

The accumulation of negative energy that is a byproduct of using magic, a sort of opposite of magical energy. Is there no negative impact to you to use magic?

You get tired and hungry, at least for ambient mages. It's less about power than controlling the power you gather from the environment.

What you're talking about sounds more like unmagic, which...

[involuntary shudder]

It's rare. Lark, my teacher, didn't bring it up until an unmage appeared in Summersea about four years ago.

[which... well, those were some memories she hadn't wanted to revisit.]

Oh? That doesn't sound so different from what I'm familiar with. The tiredness where I'm from is a natural result of blot. A little bit of rest will solve the issue, generally speaking... But I suppose it may be related to your understanding of.. unmagic? We happen to have a blot expert over on the team with the white ribbons, perhaps he could explain it better.
plied_magic: (annoyed)

Maybe. I've worked with unmagic before; it's terrifying stuff.

Well we have worries enough here to keep us occupied, so I shall keep this in mind for a later time.

Right. And if I see anything that looks suspicious, I'll ask if it's this 'Blot'.
